My thoughts exactly. They also might want to hold the news until Obama touches down tomorrow in Boston. Great photo op.
“They also might want to hold the news until 0bama touches down...”
I think you’re on to something. Scott Pelley of CBS broke into afternoon programming with the Lord and Taylor video, stop action, and detailed analysis. On the evening news, the story and video had dropped down the memory hole.
The announcement was to come at 2, then 3, then maybe 5, but Dear Leader poached the time slot with his appearance with Gabby and the Newtown parents to bemoan the loss of the gun control bill in the Senate. It sounds like the political shop is micromanaging the messages. Never let a crisis go to waste.
